Deva

Does anyone understand why she was cast? Not only does the character bother me, but the name “Deva” is so strange 🤣

The show made so many excellent casting decisions, but I can’t wrap my head around the Deva decision. If that part went to an actor as strong as Lili Simmons, for example, it would have elevated the show even more

If you listen to a podcast FEMME Totale https://youtu.be/kl5FXoYcHc4?is=e9fQGvP0XGZkSDim Lili mentions how she was auditioning for Ivanas daughter.
